Driving on the West Coast, you have plenty of opportunity to stop at beaches, with easy access. It'S a good excuse for long easy walks and you can enjoy the colourful bird life.

When it's time for sunset, just pick a beach and find your spot. That evening it was Peka Peka Beach, you can drive on the sand along a good stretch, stop for a quick BBQ with your last sausage to make a simple dinner of whatever you find in the van while enjoying the view and keeping warm once the sun disappears completely.
